Abstract

Certified Therapeutic Recreational Specialists (CTRS®) have incorporated equines into their practice for many years. Though not common, it is growing in popularity as the demand for equine-assisted services (EAS) grows. Recent factors draw new attention and significance to the discussion, including the 2021 Optimal Terminology Consensus paper. This paper left out recreational therapy (RT) service provision. The American Therapeutic Recreation Association (ATRA) Board of Directors commissioned a task force to define the position of therapeutic recreation within the defined service provisions of EAS and the role of the CTRS® in the implementation. This paper examines RT within the newly defined EAS scope. As a result of this work, RT was accepted as a therapy service as defined by the parameters of the Optimal Terminology Consensus paper under “Therapy.” The role of the CTRS® in planning and implementing a RT session incorporating equines using the Assessment, Planning, Implementation, Evaluation (APIE) process is also discussed. The hope is to advocate for and bring awareness to the essential role of RT and the need for further development of professional competencies, training, protocols, and standards for CTRS®s who incorporate equines into their practice as an intervention or modality for their clients.
娱乐疗法在马辅助服务中的作用
认证治疗娱乐专家(CTRS®)已经将马纳入他们的实践多年。虽然不常见,但随着对马辅助服务(EAS)需求的增长,它越来越受欢迎。最近的因素引起了对讨论的新的关注和意义,包括2021年最佳术语共识文件。本文没有提供休闲治疗(RT)服务。美国治疗性娱乐协会(ATRA)董事会委托了一个特别工作组来确定治疗性娱乐在EAS规定的服务条款中的地位,以及CTRS®在实施中的作用。本文在新定义的EAS范围内研究RT。作为这项工作的结果,RT被接受为一种治疗服务,根据“治疗”下的最佳术语共识文件的参数定义。CTRS®在计划和实施使用评估、计划、实施、评估(APIE)流程的马匹RT会议中的作用也进行了讨论。希望倡导并提高人们对康复治疗的重要作用的认识,以及进一步发展专业能力、培训、协议和标准的必要性,以便康复治疗人员将马纳入他们的实践,作为对客户的干预或方式。
